KBO Recap: Doosan Bears 16-9 SSG Landers | September 06 Highlights & Scores

Game Summary

The Doosan Bears put on an offensive clinic at Jamsil Stadium, overwhelming the SSG Landers 16–9 in a slugfest that saw both teams combine for five home runs and plenty of extra-base hits. What started as a competitive matchup quickly spiraled into a Bears showcase, with Doosan’s bats generating early momentum and never letting up through eight innings. The victory improved the Bears’ record to 62–57, while the Landers fell to 52–67 and remain firmly in the basement of the KBO standings.

The game turned decisively in Doosan’s favor by the middle innings, as SSG’s pitching staff struggled to find consistency. Five different Landers relievers entered the game by the fifth inning, a sign of early trouble on the mound. Meanwhile, starter Jack Rogg delivered a solid outing for the Bears, scattering just one hit across six innings of work while striking out nine. His performance set the tone for a night that belonged entirely to Doosan.

Pitching Performance

Jack Rogg earned the win with an outstanding effort, allowing a single run on one hit with nine strikeouts and two walks across six innings. The Bears’ bullpen contributions were mixed but ultimately sufficient to close out the game. Kim Jung-woo worked a clean seventh, while the middle-relief appearances from Park Chi-guk and Kim Han-jung were forgettable—combining for four hits, eight runs, and a wild stretch that seemed to unravel everything Rogg had built. Yi Yeong-ha came on late to clean up, striking out three in his inning of work.

For SSG, starter Min-jun Choi took the loss after surrendering three runs on four hits in just four innings. The Landers’ bullpen fared no better. They cycled through seven arms—an alarming number for any team—with multiple relievers unable to record more than a handful of outs. Yoon Tae-hyun did manage two scoreless innings, and Han Doo-sol closed the book without damage, but by that point the game was already decided.

Offensive Highlights

Doosan’s offense was relentless and spread across the lineup. While no single hitter dominated the box score with multiple hits, the Bears manufactured runs through timely hitting and excellent plate discipline. Severino drove in two runs and collected a double, while Chan-ho Park, Jae-seok Ahn, Min-seok Kim, and Jun-soon Park each contributed hits and RBIs in support of the winning effort.

The Landers got some offensive life from their side. Dae-in Hong went 2-for-2 with three RBIs, providing a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing loss. Eredia connected for a solo home run in the fourth, while Sang-hyun Ahn, Jae-yeon Ahn, and Beom-su Shin added hits. But individual performances couldn’t overcome the pitching collapse and the Bears’ superior run production.

Key Play of the Game

Park Chan-ho’s two-run double in the third inning proved to be the go-ahead hit that shifted momentum decisively toward Doosan. With two outs and a runner on third, Chan-ho ripped a double into center field that gave the Bears their first lead of the evening. That hit, combined with Doosan’s aggressive early approach, effectively decided the game’s trajectory. By the time home runs began flying—Eredia’s solo shot in the fourth, Yang Seok-hwan’s three-run blast in the fifth, and Kang Seung-ho’s three-run shot in the seventh—the Landers had already fallen too far behind to mount a realistic comeback.

Standings Impact

This dominant performance keeps Doosan firmly positioned in fifth place with a 62–57 record, just four games behind the pace for postseason contention. For SSG, the loss represents another step backward in what has become a disappointing campaign. At 52–67, the Landers are eleven games below .500 and showing no signs of improvement. With September winding down and October on the horizon, SSG faces an uphill battle to salvage any meaningful baseball once the regular season concludes.
